The more time I spend on the water here the more weird shit I see.
When a lobster grows it sheds its shell and grows a new one. This molting process leaves it soft bodied and vulnerable to predators, so they like to be tucked away in a safe place until their new exoskeleton is hardened up.
This particular bug, for whatever reason, was milling around on a grass flat while molting. Weird.
The top shell was 1/8 inch short of legal so I let it go. After he finished shedding he would be of harvestable size, so he got a free pass.

Captain Skip and his daughter were nice enough to accommodate our last minute request to ride out on the water. They went above ad beyond and even laid out a plate of snacks for us, which was unexpected. They are wonderful people with great energy and spirit who should be given preference when considering whom to ride with.

My buddies and I book several charters a year. This was our first time on the Adios. We are experienced fishermen, love to bust on each other all day long.

Aboard the Adios we had non-stop action all day easily hitting our limit of keeper Sea bass with some fluke and other species as well, but instead of the usual post-game trash talk, this time the focus was on what a great tim…

Skip is a great Captain, he has a southern vibe that is lacking ,up north.

Fantastic charter. Captain Skip and deck hand Scott put us on the fish and kept us happy. Highly recommend the Adios if you are looking for a worry free charter. Lots of laughs and fish. Thanks again!

Captain Skip and Scott gave us the best day of fishing our 3 generations have ever had. We all caught our personal biggest Bass. Skip is gracious, knowledgeable and fun. Going again next week!

The Adios is the only boat we fish off of in Montauk. The Adios has taken care of us and our guests for almost 40 years. Skip is the best of the best - friendly, professional, knowledgeable (with good laughs and a lot of fishies too). We have had many wonderful memories through three generations on the Adios - more to come!!!!

Been fishing with Skip and The Adios since the early ‘80s. Every trip has been a blast. Whether you’re catching sea bass, flounder, striped bass or tuna, you’ll enjoy every exciting moment. Can’t wait for the next charter!
